let's bring you down to san francisco. you can see not only lingering showers but also dealing with fog tonight. it's just going to make it worse. then as you head into the south bay, you can see some traffic stopped on the bottom left of your screen and a lot of cloud cover. i would say my best bet for tonight would be a nice movie, maybe order take-in. the best way to go through a storm. here comes our next storm for the weekend. it's going to move in in somewhat of the same fashion. it will rise up the flood concern most notably as we head into sunday with once again 1 to 3 inches of rainfall, could even see more wind gusts at about 40 miles per hour. that could take down more trees and produce power outages. so for your weekend, i know a lot of you are thinking about, what about saturday? for the morning hours, just a few showers expected across the bay area. and we'll keep mainly showers for the evening. so not so bad on saturday. it's on early sunday morning, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, that this next round of heavier ra

he's touring the country, speaking at venues like san francisco's cathedral hill hotel, spreading the word that chocolate goes great with beer, not wine.yeah, everybody says red wine and chocolate. but when you sit down and actually do it, it doesn't work the vast, vast majority of the time. beer is something pete knows a thing or two about. you see, he's "pete" of "pete's wicked ale" fame. he used to run one of the most successful microbrews in the country.i find that pairing chocolates with beer is actually much easier. but don't think pete's just trying to sell more beer. he's not. pete got out of the beer biz years ago. now he's running a gourmet chocolate company called "cocoa pete's."the best way to enjoy it is to take a little bite -- not a big one -- but a little bite of the chocolate, let it melt on the tongue and as it liquefies try a sip of the beer. pete leads tastings to introduce folks to his chocolates -- and to debunk the old myth that they're best paired with red wine.that was a surprise! you know, i'd think that wine would definitely pair pretty well with chocolate.

per se new york, french laundry in yountville, greens san francisco. hi dash, hi boy. his favorite customers are nico and robbie ... think that's pretty good ... who like to help dad shell beans just for fun. thwack, thwack, thwack. we're going to use a pillow case as just whack it with a bat. and whack it, whack it, whack it and you're crushing the beans. the waste stays at the top and then you can reach down and get a beautiful handful of beans. they're blue speckled and blue is my favorite color. i got a green one, green speckled. at steve's home they deal in small numbers of beans, but at the office it's a different story. rancho gordo sells sacks of beans for about five bucks each. they're more expensive than grocery store beans, yes, but steve says the cost's well worth it. commercial beans by the time they reach your table can be 10 ars old, which isn't the most pleasant thought. the difference between these and commercial grocery store beans is the flavor, the texture and the ease of cooking. another difference - steve makes personal deliveries. he's wrapping u
